Chapter 071

In addition to rewarding its own employees, Xishen Real Estate's tail-team banquet will also invite the company's customers and other partners to thank them for their support for Xishen Real Estate in the past year.

Lijia decided to merge part of its property in Causeway Bay into a new company. Taking advantage of the current booming stock market in Hong Kong, the company was sent to the stock exchange for listing.

Merrill Lynch is fully committed to seeking this new stock underwriting business from Lijia, so today's Hsin Real Estate's tail-team banquet, not only did Merrill Lynch Hong Kong president Han Desheng come, but even Merrill Lynch Asia Pacific president Komansky also came to attend in person. He hopes to take today's opportunity to communicate with the helmsman of Lijia in person.

As the clock hand on the wall pointed to 7 o'clock, the guests who were originally sitting at the mahjong table playing cards had already stood up, sat down at the table, waiting for the official start of the dinner.

Zhou Yang also accused several old ladies at the card table and was about to find two empty seats with Caroline.

He had just briefly introduced the list of performances after the dinner, including lion dance and Sichuan opera face-changing performances, so he raised the New York girl's expectations at once.

As most of the guests in the banquet hall had already settled down, the heavyweights who had not seen before finally walked out of the VIP room next to them.

"Charlie, why are you here tonight?" Komansky glanced at him inadvertently when he passed by Zhou Yang, and then asked in a slightly surprised tone when he found him.

"Boss, Caroline is very interested in Oriental culture. I heard that Xishen Real Estate's tail-to-tee banquet tonight specially invited the Sichuan Opera Troupe from mainland China to perform, so she got an invitation from Corris." Zhou Yang didn't seem to expect that he would meet the company boss himself, so he had to tell the truth.

"Miss Kennedy is here too? Where is she?" Komansky said and looked around for a few times, but he could not find Caroline.

"Caroline went to the bathroom to make up her makeup, and she should be back soon." Zhou Yang explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, Caroline walked out of the corner far away.

"Mr. Li, let me introduce you to this beautiful Miss Caroline, the daughter of President Kennedy, and the eternal 'American Princess' in the hearts of us New Yorkers!" After a few greetings with Caroline, Komansky introduced her to Li Hanzhao who had been standing patiently by her waiting.

From the previous conversation between Komansky and Zhou Yang, Li Hanzhao also guessed that Caroline should be a guest with a lot of identity. So, Komansky, the president of Merrill Lynch's Asia-Pacific region, deliberately postponed the seat and stood here and waited for the other party.

But Li Hanzhao was still shocked when he heard Komansky say that the blonde and blue-eyed young girl in front of him was a member of the famous Kennedy family in the United States.

So Li Hanzhao made a quick decision and enthusiastically invited Zhou Yang and Caroline to go to the VIP table near the stage to sit together.

"Sorry, I didn't expect Boss to be so shameless. He just walked into the banquet hall and started looking for us. I told him that you went to the bathroom to make up, and he was waiting for you here!"

On the way to the VIP table in the front row, Zhou Yang quietly approached Caroline's ear and explained softly in a helpless tone.

After he got up from the mahjong table, he discussed with Caroline in advance and asked Caroline to go to the bathroom to make up first, so that she would not be exposed by the other party after she happened to bump into Komansky.

"Wall Street is full of vampires. As long as you have a little value, you can't escape their claws!" Caroline also said depressedly. She was used to being the center of everyone's attention no matter where she went.

Just as Zhou Yang and Caroline were communicating softly, Li Hanzhao had already walked to the front middle, and sat at the female guest's VIP table, then leaned over and whispered a few words to the eldest aunt and the third aunt who were sitting in the main seat.

Afterwards, Caroline was arranged by Li Hanzhao, and the seat next to his third aunt Lu Yanqun was taken. Lu Yanqun graduated from Mills College in California in his early years and could speak fluent American English.

When many people mention the best universities in the United States, they will first think of the eight Ivy League schools. However, Ivy League schools only accept male students in their early years, so in fact, there are seven "Seven Sisters" who only accept female students as the "Eight Ivy League Brothers".

Radcliffe College, where Caroline graduated, was one of the "Seven Sisters". Later, after the university did not recruit students separately, Radcliffe College was gradually merged into Harvard University.

The development of the western United States was many years later than that of the eastern region. Although the western region also gave birth to world-class universities like Stanford, it is not a member of the Ivy League.

The same is true for Mills College, where Lu Yanqun graduated. It is one of the first-class women's private colleges in the United States. The biggest difference from the "Seven Sisters" is that it was established later.

So after Caroline got to beside Lu Yanqun, the two people, who were over thirty years apart, talked about their interesting stories when they were studying, and soon became enthusiastic.

Chinese people pay attention to rules, so the ranking of guests is very reasonable. Zhou Yang was not arranged to the tables in the first row at the front, but was arranged to sit at one of the tables in the second row.

Next door to Zhou Yang is a third-generation member of the Li family named Li Dingchang. Li Dingchang's father is Li Dingchang's fifth son, but he is far less talented than his eldest and third brothers, so he has no reputation in the outside world.

On the contrary, his son Lidingchang is more capable. After graduating from the University of Manchester in the UK, he quickly obtained the qualification for lawyers in England and Wales.

But Li Dingchang did not stay in the UK as a lawyer, but immediately returned to Hong Kong and joined the Li family business, Xishen Real Estate.

Zhou Yang and Li Dingchang chatted while having dinner. The dinner time lasted from seven o'clock to nine o'clock. In two hours, there were a total of more than twenty delicious dishes.

The most famous delicacy in the whole dinner is the chef's signature dish of Xi Wannian, the charcoal barbecue suckling pig. Each suckling pig is not big in size, and both sides are roasted into golden yellow. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, and is very delicious.

After everyone finished their meal, the waiters took only ten minutes to remove all the tableware. Then they placed pastries, fruit plates and tea on the table.

At this moment, a wonderful literary performance also began on the stage ahead.

The Li family spent a lot of money on the tail-teeth banquet tonight. They not only invited the Sichuan Opera Troupe to perform in the country, but also the local wonderful Nanshi stomping performance. Both programs attracted everyone's applause.

The finale was the two most popular male and female singers in Hong Kong - Luo Wen and Ye Liyi. The two of them sang three songs respectively, which brought the atmosphere of the entire tail-fang banquet to a climax.

After the artistic performance, the guests gradually dispersed, and Zhou Yang was about to drive Caroline back to the hotel first.

However, after Caroline came out of the banquet hall of the nightclub, she was still very excited. Because she was sitting in the front, several Sichuan opera actors almost performed their faces in front of her, which made her stunned.

So even after getting into Zhou Yang's car, Caroline still talked endlessly with him about what the principle of changing face was.

While dealing with Caroline's various problems, Zhou Yang quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, the reason why Caroline's identity was exposed today was entirely due to the fact that Zhou Yang and Komansky agreed in advance.
